SSBM Rank 2014 (10)

SSBM Rank 2014 (10)

For the second straight year, MeleeItOnMe is ranking every SSBM Player and counting them down on Twitter (#SSBMRank2014@Meleeitonme), from No. 100 to No. 1 .

We asked a panel of ~30 players/commentators/figureheads from all across the world to rate the overall level of play for each player in 2014 (From January 2014 –> The Big House 4). This includes evaluating perceived skill in tandem with the tournament results.

Don’t worry ranks 9-7 will also release today, but we will be giving each player in the top 10 their own dedicated page with highlight clips.

Colbol

Colbol has been playing competitive SSBM almost as long as anyone else, and his experience has culminated in 2014 into a decisive tournament force. A highly technical and adaptable Fox main, Colbol is known for seamlessly switching between relentless techincal aggression and evasive laser maneuvers. After a breakout APEX run into 5th place, Colbol continued to make high placings at nationals, making top 20 at every notable tournament of the year. A dominant force in central Florida, Colbol has recently double eliminated Hungrybox, although their tournament record is still in the god’s favor. Other players in his state indicate that his skill in friendlies dramatically exceeds his tournament placings, so be on the watch for impressive things as Colin adjusts to the national spotlight.

I think an interesting thing to consider would be that on Florida’s Power Rankings, Plup placed higher than Colbol.. Not necessarily disagreeing with the order you guys are coming up with, since it is based on a panel, so I guess it all comes down to opinion regardless.
